Getting Language-Specific
Resources
Language-specific resources that you specify as a declaration at runtime include text elements that you assign to a UI element, for example. These declaratively specified texts are stored in a .properties file where a .properties file contains the name/value pairs for a specific language ID. The Developer Studio supports the creation of the .properties files which are resource bundles and generates corresponding S2X files that are relevant for the translation process.
Requirement
WD Project and WD Component have been defined.
Procedure
Create messages, UI element texts, or texts for Dictionary data types as usual. With the definition, you automatically get the generated resource file types.
Result
The table below shows the generated file types with their default file names. Generally you can display the files via the standard Navigator view of the Developer Studio.
